This is exciting and sad at the same time. I'm gonna miss my girl like crazy and already feel it, but at the same time this is my first trip to Vegas and I've been preparing for it for months. I even started playing live poker, which I used to hate, so that I wouldn't be a total fish when I showed up in Vegas. At least now I understand how things work in a casino - at least a little bit.
Mostly done packing and I'm sure I forgot some stuff, so hopefully I remember what it was before tomorrow morning. Gonna be doing an 11 hr drive (according to mapquest, but I have heard it only takes 9) from CO to Vegas. I've got a friends place to stay at once I arrive but I'm hoping I can find an LP couch to crash on later so that I can spend more time with other poker players.
Trying to do this all on a budget, hence the couch surfing. I'm also gonna be on the subway 5 dollar footlong plan unless I can figure out another cheap way to eat while I'm there. I have this fantasy that I'll get some comps for the buffets, but that's probably from watching too many movies about Vegas, haha.
I'm excited to meet everyone. I've been talking to a lot of LP guys for ages and never met em in the flesh. Milkman, MiPwnya, Frinkx, Night201, SakiSaki, Wisdom, and a bunch more. I have a feeling this will be pretty similar to going to WCG, except everyone will be much more baller.
I'll try to post pictures here in my blog if anything exciting goes down while I'm around. And I'll probably be updating this quite a bit as I play and so on. I've been lazy on the blog lately cause I've spent a lot more time working my part time job for a non-profit than I have for poker (it's been pretty full time for the last few months cause I wanna help em out). But starting with this trip my life is gonna refocus on poker. I really want to be a 2/4 reg taking 3/6 shots by the end of this year. I feel pretty confident that I could beat 2/4 right now if I was rolled for it, but it would be for a very tiny winrate. I'm hopeful that spending time with a bunch of LP guys will allow me to learn and break through that wall. Plus if I run good I should be able to boost my roll quite well vs all the fish who will be in town.
Gonna spend tonight with my lady and then get up and I'm off to Vegas! Crazy to think that the time has actually arrived for me to do this =)

Hf in vegas. Also In N Out = pretty cheap to eat at if you get a water with it. $5ish or so (assuming vegas in n out has same prices as california.. which is probably a terrible assumption) |
